Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

My role is to support the P4 group of Gensets as an engineering capacity, on a day-to-day basis it involves discussing and sharing relevant information with customers (internal/external), and operating with other BUs to develop solutions to current products with issues. My day-to-day has been a project and technical leader for a problem solving project for a ignition system - designing and implementing the solution.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was given a large amount of responsibility as a project leader, but I was never left to be fully accountable for everything. Even with my manager being busy, he was always present to account for my wellbeing regarding responsibility and my role.
